Not really for Mesa... but if that guy is right about Comair, I'd have to say I would be a little bit surprised. I remember when they were the place to be...

Good point, wasn't it just a few months ago that Comair wasn't even Hiring, now they are hiring anyone who can do a lazy 8?

I am not a grad, but have seen the product. More of them work the line than you think, and their safety record is excellent. The program works. But historically speaking, I tend to agree with you. A few years ago you really had to have some ability and motivation to complete that program and get a job at Mesa...then it took 4+ years to meet captain mins. The problem NOW is that the standards are much lower, ie pass the credit check. I saw some useless punks with real attitudes coming on line when I was still at mesa, but at least THEY had to interview. The MAPD grads today go directly to new-hire class, they don't even interview them. :eek: :eek: :eek: Like GIA, you can definately buy a job at mesa today. |

Do you have to be a US Citizen or will they hire you with a green card. Maybe Johnnie from Bombay can leave Microsoft to become a pilot now???
How does the FAA allow this ??? |
